This is my favourite race beyond doubt. The locals really make it and get on board and with so many friends watching and cheering, it's hard for any other race to compare. Quite like the recent course change which gets the first incline out of the way - it allows you to set your stall out for the race ahead. This bit is more congested though and ideally closing the entire road would make this better.
Really well organised and can't wait for 2020
